What Is Small Data, and Why Is It Important?

  • “fundamental characteristics of data — Volume, Velocity, and Variety” ⤴️
  • “Veracity and Vulnerability” ⤴️
  • Loose-coupling of Database Management Systems (DBMS) and Database Files — moving from the traditional one-to-one association between a DBMS and its propriety Database Document Type, to a one-to-many association between a single DBMS and a variety of proprietary and/or open-standard” ⤴️
  • “xtending Storage using Clusters of Database Files” ⤴️
  • “ewer network-oriented filesystems (HDFS, Apache Spark, etc.) have emerged that enable the use of commodity hardware to construct vast clusters of Database Document Files that collectively increase data storage volume” ⤴️
  • Mapping the Content of Database Document Files to Relations — which are then operated on declaratively by a given DBMS using query languages,” ⤴️
  • “he most obvious Data Challenges posed by the five Vs are being addressed by more physical storage made available” ⤴️
  • “his doesn’t address the deeper issues” ⤴️
  • ““Small Data” introduces a new paradigm where puzzle-pieces are progressively discovered and applied to solve a puzzle” ⤴️
  • Hyperdata (rather than Hypertext) — where hyperlinks function as “Super Keys” that offer a “deceptively simple” mechanism” ⤴️
  • Data Definition — every entity is unambiguously identified using a hyperlink and described using a 3-tuple structure” ⤴️
  • “each part has a clear role based on existing “parts of speech” principles, i.e., subject, predicate, and object” ⤴️
  • “flow across traditional boundaries that underly all Data Silos (e.g., software applications, host operating systems, host machines, and networks)” ⤴️
  • “using declarative query languages” ⤴️
  • “to operate on data that flows across traditional boundaries” ⤴️
  • constants and variables in the query body are resolved on an as-needed basis” ⤴️
  • "" ⤴️
  • “PARQL Service Providing “Progressive Data Access” rather than Bulk Import and Export Batch Processing Pipelines” ⤴️
  • “Benefits?” ⤴️
  • “ubiquitous support of HTTP, you can refer to data from a variety of applications and services,” ⤴️
  • “avoid building out new clusters of database documents” ⤴️
  • Performance & Scale —by leveraging innovations in cache-invalidation schemes and data compression” ⤴️
  • Data Privacy and Security — by fusing data representation with the logic that underlies entity descriptions” ⤴️
  • “access to data is controlled declaratively” ⤴️
  • “ine-grained attribute-based access controls” ⤴️
  • “ultural changes around data management that increase participation” ⤴️
  • “Adherence to Linked Data Principles implies that Entities are Identified using hyperlinks” ⤴️
  • “deally, an HTTP URI due to the combined effects of resolvability and global ubiquity” ⤴️
  • “3-tuple structure comprising a Subject, Predicate, and Object.” ⤴️
  • “Any user agent can look up (or “dereference”) what that hyperlink identifies.” ⤴️
  • “a massive collection of puzzle-pieces that describe a variety of things” ⤴️
  • “amenable to progressive retrieval and association.” ⤴️
  • “puzzle-pieces come together on request, in response to specific actions” ⤴️
  • “query” ⤴️
  • “Small Data is Big Data that’s Accessible (via Hyperlinks as Entity Identifiers) , Understandable (via Subject, Predicate, Object sentences that produce Hyperdata), and Actionable (REST-ful interactions with Actions that manifest as Hyperdata).” ⤴️
  • “The net effect of this approach to data access, integration, and exploitation enables the construction of Knowledge Graphs that manifest progressively as a Semantic Web of Linked Data deployed across public and/or private networks (a/k/a Hybrid Clouds).” ⤴️
